Dolminis – Altoona

Thank you Pyramid healthcare!! Amazing counselors doctors Too all the amazing people there who know me and r part of my story You saved my life You are a blessing Thank you with all my heart and soul

Worst place I ever stayed no fresh air no healthy food no music No Crafts no colored pencils no paper no anything you can’t make bracelets there’s no string or beads. This place sucks absolutely barely let you out to… get fresh air windows are screwed Shut painted from the outside living hell

Great start and councilors I learned a lot of tools on dealing with my drinking problem I would recommend them to anyone who needs help or treatment

My CRS for pyramid was one of the best supports I had in the time we wet working with each other. This employee was very knowledgeable, professional, caring, honest, and responsible. I’m very grateful for this employees… commitment to their job and me as a client.

My experience there kept me 10 months... first time ever. Unfortunately I needed more help but it's a great program... structured for a routine... saved my ass ...

Great staff and programming that is client-focused!

Staff was wonderful!

Don’t you dare ask for a new counselor

Great place if your looking for MAT. Awesome nurses and my counselor is great

The Dr there was an amazing nonjudgmental understanding Dr who did everything possible to ensure my recovery as much as my safety. Andrea C, a CRS who worked there “borrowed” from me yet would never return, I know I was… taken for no less than 100$ give or take. By the time she was fired, It’s my guess she wasn’t in a good place, I reached out to her private # several Xs after her release to obtain my property or $. It was clear Her children’s father is extremely abusive of which I believe is the reason she is behaving so poorly. Anna, pyramids director, dismissed me from pyramid IOP program after 60 days of treatment. Having been a very heavy addict for over 4 years I did not feel ready to quit my groups I’d attended 3 days a week to one hour a month w my personal counselor and 1 group session a month of my choosing. I told her I was fat from ready to be released in such a big way with 2 days notice I’d begged her to let me continue group but she insisted, in fact made it abundantly clear that I could not continue any more groups as they were and what she’s offered me was her very best as my insurance would in fact not cover anymore treatment! First I called my insurance company who informed me that I absolutely could continue treatment and all they needed was to hear that they recommended I continue. After finding her whole story about not being able to continue treatment as my insurance would no longer provide coverage to be a flat out lie, i them proceeded to call her boss and he told me the same basic thing. If Anna would agree for me to continue treatment I could continue services. Jordan, who witnessed this entire conversation and is also my personal counselor sat there in the room as she also more or less forced me to sign some papers I did not want to sign by telling me that I could not leave that room unless I signed them, that if I signed them she could process my paperwork & if I did not it would just make it harder for everyone. In continually harassing me to sign her threats became more and more invasive stating I would have to pay out of pocket if I did not sign, among other things said that I cannot remember precisely. In the end I’d missed half my next to last group and when I finally gave in I told them I felt forced. She refused to allow me to use that phrase before I signed. I did in fact confirm that nobody held a gun to my head or physically forced me to sign but o in fact did feel forced bc they both made it clear that if I did not sign I could not leave that room, I would have to pay out of pocket for treatment etc. therefore I felt forced to sign that paperwork for her to get me out of the pyramid group sessions. In all, her boss, my insurance company and Blair county drug & alcohol all said she only needed to refer me to continue treatment. Ultimately I am now attending group with cenclear because 60 days does not repair 4+ years of heavy daily active addiction. Chris, one of the group leaders told me that when I shared my story about the untimely death of my 18 yr old daughter who broke her neck in a car crash and did not cry when I told this to a group of 10+ strangers that I was a bad mother bc a good mother would have cried. When I first met Chris (having never been to any treatment facility ever before) forced me (by staying on me and hounding me until I spoke) to tell my story on my first day there before a group of 10+ strangers (still in a clouded state of mind having yet to have a sober day) I felt so violated. (Everyone in group was sure they would never see me again. BUT SADLY FOR CHRIS ANNA AND JORDAN I AL DETERMINED TO STAY SOBER! Hence I am now a patient at cenclear! If you truly desire sobriety I highly recommend anywhere but pyramid. There ARE a few good ones there! The nurse, the dr, the nurses at the clinic, Andrea and most certainly Paige are all ppl who work there who want their clients to succeed! JUST BECAUSE A FEW APPLES IN THE BASKET ARE ROTTEN, DOES NOT MEAN ALL IF THE APPLES HAVE ROTTED! In the end, Anna refused me treatment so I went to Cenclear!

My earlier review was taken down. They steal patients mail here. Filed a police report today. Disgusting place. Julie said she never saw the mail her boss said Julie sent it back. Do not send important items through the… mail it will come up missing

When it comes to M.A.T. and Outpatient Therapy, there are 2 options in the Altoona/Duncansville Area. Having personally tried both facilities, (Discovery House & Dolminis Pyramid), I can say without a shadow of a doubt… that Dolminis is by far the superior choice. Everything from the cleanliness of the facility, to the vibe of the counselors, to the warmth and caring attitude of the nurses is all levels above what you'll receive at Discovery House.

Friendly place they have a good program running there and it's very helpful.

Great counselor, every step of your treatment is explained. Positive approach in both group, as well as individual sessions

My boyfriend goes here he loves it he found more heroin connections the person in the black suv even delivers the heroin to him all in all it has been great for him but not so good for his family I spend a lot of my… time hiding my purse because he has no problem taking food out of his kids mouth. He also enjoys gas lighting me telling me he is killing himself and to tell the kids mommy killed daddy because it is my fault he would kill him self because I am selfish and don't want him using drugs

Very good place with excellent care

The Doctor is alright, but the nurses, staff, my consoler Susan is INCREDIBLE. So caring, nonjudgmental, easy to connect with, interested and invested in all her clients recover. Our sessions are one hour but I could… sit there all day and talk with her. Just an incredibly kind, outgoing, transparent and caring human being. One of the best people I’ve ever met. The nurses are great too. Know you by name, asks about your life and is super kind and caring about everything going on. If you are ready to recover, this is the place to be. But you HAVE to do your part and be responsible with your recover.

The staff was very helpful and friendly I didn't feel pressured to share. I was in fact encouraged to share to help with my progress thanks to Emily and kim

Everyone is very nice. Truly do care about helping with your addiction. Just follow the rules and mind your own business. It's what you make happen. I'm grateful for all who work there care about people with this… deasese. No judgment. One of the best places I've been to for help. Thanks to all the staff....

The staff have been incredible and I have no complaints about my treatment. However I believe it is a lousy place to work because damn near a hundred percent of the wonderful counselors have left due to loss of paid… vacation that had been agreed upon and earned. I may not have all the details correct but you can be sure that relationships between patients and counselors, which have grown over, in some cases, many years, have been replaced by a revolving door of new hires. I know it is a for profit clinic but penny pinching like this is hurting everyone involved.

Pyramid has saved my life! I'm so grateful for them! Thank you to everyone who is apart of pyramid, who has helped me through this tough journey! You are such a blessing!

Pyramid helped save my life. If I was able to give more stars than 5 I would. Thank you for everything it is truly appreciated!

Been here over 4 years now, and I've had 100% success. Katie is AWESOME, and the whole team is kind and professional, and most of all, caring. A REAL life saver for me!
